The Rise of the Sect: I am the most persistent person in the world of immortal cultivation

"Thank you, Envoy Li. I feel much more relieved after hearing your words."

Li Chengyan smiled slightly and sighed in his heart.

No matter what level of cultivation one has reached, the love between father and son is always the hardest to forget.

"Please rest assured, Master Ye will be the safest in the Dayun Dynasty no matter what."

After hearing this, Ye Yang nodded.

After all, no matter what, Ye Fan is his biological son.

At this time Li Chengyan spoke again.

"Master Ye, regarding your trip to the Heavenly Palace, when do you plan to leave?"

Ye Yang pondered for a moment and said.

"I plan to leave in three days."

After hearing this, Li Chengyan was very excited. A hint of excitement surged in his heart and he nodded happily.

"Then I will return to the sect and prepare for the reception for the ancestor."

Ye Yang bowed and saluted: "Then I won't see you off, Envoy Li, have a safe journey."

After seeing Li Chengyan off, time passed quickly and they soon arrived at the capital of the Dayun Dynasty.

When Ye Yang slowly descended from the air, the capital of Dayun Dynasty was full of people.

Because of the sudden attack of the Netherworld Dynasty all those years ago, the struggles between Yalongling, Dayun Dynasty, and various forces have eased.

Therefore, the capital city was extremely peaceful most of the time, and many people resumed their lives.

The capital city is magnificent, with towering city walls carved with all kinds of exquisite patterns, demonstrating the majesty and glory of the dynasty.

The city walls were full of guards.

Each of them was dressed in silver armor, holding a spear, and had a solemn expression.

There were even quite a few cultivators who rode white cranes or flying swords, flying up and down in the capital, conducting inspections from time to time.

For a time, immortals and mortals lived together, and it was quite lively.

Ye Yang walked through the city gate.

Entered the capital.

The streets are wide and clean, with various shops and stalls on both sides selling a wide variety of goods.

There was a constant stream of pedestrians, including hurried monks and simple civilians.

The street hawking, bargaining and children's laughter intertwined together to form a vivid picture.

Ye Yang strolled along the main road among the crowd, and heard the discussions of the surrounding monks or mortals.

"Have you heard? The legendary sword master Ye Yang is coming to Kyoto!"

A middle-aged man said excitedly.

"Really? He is a legendary figure in the world of cultivation! His arrival will definitely make Kyoto more lively."

Another monk who looked somewhat young echoed as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, this Ye Yang, who is an expert in both swords and sabers, not only has a profound cultivation, but also has great strength, and is deeply respected by all parties."

"But I heard that this person doesn't seem to have a very good relationship with our dynasty. Is his coming to Kyoto this time a blessing or a curse? Is it good or bad?"

At this time, an old man in a green robe, stroking his beard, also joined the discussion with a hint of respect in his tone.

His words made many people silent. After all, the man who was an expert in both sword and saber could kill people in the world with his sword. He had defeated Yiqi Changqiu Daoxinghe when he was at the warrior level.

Its reputation is still spreading till now.

Afterwards, the opponent led the patrol warships and charged into the Dragon Taming Sect. He pierced through the entire Dragon Taming Sect with one sword, and then protected the Cangyun Mountain. He opened the Sky Gate with one sword, and it is unknown how many cultivators were killed.

Its strength is even more incredible.

Especially since then, he has been ranked in the top ten of the official demon-eliminating list of the Dayun Dynasty. He can be classified as one of the old demons, which is really a pity.

The old man's words made many people silent.

Although these concerns may seem alarmist, they are not entirely wrong.

After all, Ye Yang, who is an expert in both swordsmanship and saber, is well-known. After his arrival, no one knew whether it was true or not, and his purpose was uncertain, which made people feel both excited and worried.

The discussions around gradually died down, and people began to fall into deep thought. Some looked worried, while others seemed more curious.

A young scholar couldn't help but speak.

"It shouldn't be a bad thing. I heard that the old sage Ye Fan and this sword master seem to have a close relationship. I'm sure he won't have any bad intentions."

"Yes, this Lord Ye Fan is extraordinary. He not only inherited the Holy Emperor's last wish, vigorously opened schools and built houses, understood the sufferings of the people, but also sympathized with the people and pleaded for them many times."

“All his contributions to the people are obvious to all.”

The people around nodded in agreement. An old man stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

"Since taking office, Lord Ye Fan has done a lot of practical things. He built water conservancy projects to ensure that the people no longer suffer from droughts and floods. He also reformed the judicial system to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and that the people's lives are more stable."

"Yes."

An old lady nearby recalled.

"But remember last winter, a serious plague broke out in the south of the city, and many people died. Lord Ye Fan not only went to the epidemic area in person to distribute medicine, but also used his own savings and power in the sect to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials."

"Thanks to his efforts, the epidemic has been brought under control and countless lives have been saved."

Hearing this, Ye Yang felt quite satisfied, and the warmth and pride in his heart became stronger.

He knew that Ye Fan did not have good qualifications for cultivation.

But this kind of kindness and sense of responsibility made him feel extremely gratified.

He continued walking in the capital of the Dayun Dynasty, observing the people around him.

Sometimes we have to admit that the Lord of the Dayun Dynasty is indeed a legendary figure, but he acts too radically, and his rise to power has only lasted a hundred years.

I have offended too many people.

Just when the Dayun Dynasty was at its peak.

Suddenly it fell apart.

Ye Yang was walking on the Kyoto Street while thinking about his worries. The people around him were hurrying past, forming a sharp contrast with him.

Suddenly, Ye Yang looked up and saw a familiar fortune-telling stall.

An old Taoist priest was sitting there, wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with a weathered face and white hair. It looked like he hadn't washed for many days.

There were even some dirt on the chest, which made it look extremely unkempt.

I saw it written on the banner of the fortune-telling stall.

"I can't count the lowly fates of all living beings, looking back at the starry sky, what can I do?"

A few big words. At this moment, he looked sleepy and didn't care about his clothes.

There aren't many fortune tellers around me.

But Ye Yang seemed to have seen some treasure and hurried over.

"Greetings to Senior Tianjizi."

(two)

Ye Yang shouted in surprise and walked forward quickly.

That’s right, this person is Tianjizi, who ranks third on the Demon-Slayer List of the Dayun Dynasty.

He is particularly proficient in the art of fortune-telling, and is an old senior that countless people want to meet.

No one had ever thought that he was hiding in the capital of the Dayun Dynasty.

Even before, the reason why Ye Yang was able to go to the Alien Demon Abyss to rescue Gu Xuan was because of Tianjizi's reminder.

After hearing Ye Yang's words at this moment.

Tianjizi looked up at Ye Yang, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a gentle smile.

"It turns out to be Brother Daoist Ye. It's been many years since we last met. You are still as charming as ever."

"I heard that Brother Ye first annihilated the Dragon Taming Sect and then broke through to the Tiangang realm not long ago."

When he said this, he pinched his fingers slightly, as if he had thought of something, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes.

"You have used the results of the Dharma Realm recently? Are you preparing to break through to the Dharma Realm?"

This thing is not a secret. Ye Yang nodded and did not deny it.

Ye Yang bowed and saluted, smiling: "Senior, you are still clear-sighted. Yes, I did take the results of the Dharma not long ago."

"No wonder, why did I say that the aura in your body is a little different."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Tianjizi motioned for Ye Yang to sit down, brewed a pot of strong tea for him at the tea stall, and began to speak.

"Master Ye came here this time because he was invited by the Heavenly Court!" Ye Yang nodded and did not lie.

"Yes, after I reached this level of cultivation, I felt that the road ahead was blocked, especially in the cultivation method. I felt that I had encountered a big bottleneck. It happened that Dayun Dynasty invited me and was willing to provide a breakthrough method, so I came to give it a try."

Tianjizi smiled slightly, handed over the hot tea, and then spoke.

"The Dayun Dynasty swallowed up the world. Although it has declined now, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. There should be no shortage of Taoist magic in the Heavenly Court."

"I wonder what else you have to teach me this time, Senior?"

Ye Yang asked.

Tianjizi had told him before not to get involved in the affairs of the Dayun Dynasty's imperial mausoleum. Ye Yang kept it in mind and indeed avoided a lot of trouble.

Tianjizi put down the teacup in his hand and said with a deep look in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you may have noticed that Netherworld Huangquan has been increasingly active in the cultivation world recently."

"Have you ever thought about why this is?"

“Although the Netherworld Yellow Spring feeds on the blood and bones of thousands of cultivators in the cultivation world, this attack may not be as simple as imagined.”

"This time, they came not only to harvest the resources and power of the cultivation world, but there is a bigger reason behind it."

Ye Yang frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

"Brother Dao, please speak frankly."

Tianjizi nodded and said solemnly.

"The world is vast and boundless. The cultivation world we live in is just a drop in the ocean, one of the countless cultivation worlds."

"Every cultivation world has a lifespan during its operation. According to my observation, the reason why Netherworld Yellow Spring is so eager to invade the cultivation world, in addition to harvesting resources, there is a more urgent reason."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the sky, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his tone.

"I'm afraid that the cultivation world we live in has reached the limit of its lifespan and is about to collapse."

Ye Yang was stunned when he heard this.

"The world is collapsing? What does that mean?"

Tianjizi sighed and continued to explain: "According to my observations and calculations over the years, there is a delicate balance between heaven and earth. However, this balance is gradually being broken."

"The land where the Netherworld Yellow Spring is located was originally a parallel existence to our cultivation world. They rely on the Yellow Spring River to survive, and have always been in competition with us."

"But in recent years, the environment of the Netherworld has deteriorated and the spiritual energy has dried up, causing the foundation of the entire world to begin to shake. In order to survive, the Netherworld Dynasty had to find a new place to live."

"And the cultivation world naturally became their target."

(three)

Ye Yang pondered for a moment and asked, "What does this mean for the cultivation world?"

Tianjizi's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "This means that the cultivation world will face an unprecedented crisis. The strength of the Netherworld and Huangquan should not be underestimated. If they really invade with all their strength, the cultivation world may fall into a catastrophe."

“Not only that, the collapse of the heaven and earth in the Netherworld will gradually affect our world, and the entire cultivation world may be destroyed because of it.”

Ye Yang clenched his fists. Although Ye Yang was still unfamiliar with what Tianjizi said, he actually had some guesses in his mind.

The news he had received before was that the Taoist Master Guangfa in the Netherworld was injured by Ren Taxian in his early years, and this time he drove the people in the Netherworld to come.

In addition to avenging the Dayun Dynasty, he also has the idea of ​​swallowing up the entire cultivation world.

But later, the monks in the Netherworld began to wreak havoc everywhere, and war spread across the world.

Obviously, he didn't come here just for revenge.

Having said this, many things immediately became clear.

"Strength is still strength."

Thinking of this, Ye Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

He didn't know what chaos the world would be in if heaven and earth collapsed.

But he knew that the opponents he would face in the future would only become stronger.

In fact, it is far from being a netherworld.

"Taoist! Only after breaking through to the Taoist realm, maybe you can have a little power to protect yourself, a glimmer of hope."

Ye Yang took a deep breath, and a sense of urgency emerged in his heart, but he quickly forced himself to suppress this negative emotion and tried to calm his inner fluctuations.

He knew that passion alone was not enough, and that there must be clear plans and actions.

Ye Yang closed his eyes, and in an instant, a clear plan appeared in his mind.

"First of all, we must consolidate our existing cultivation and not rush for success."

"Then, I will look for cultivation resources that are suitable for me. The most urgent thing now is to find a method that is suitable for my cultivation, and then use it to break through to the Dharma Realm, or even become a Yuanshen Taoist."

He slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze became unusually firm.

"In addition, cultivation is not a one-man show. In addition to making friends with like-minded people, you also need to quickly support the sect's power. This way, you will not be isolated and helpless in the future wars."

Ye Yang stood up, having already made a decision in his mind.

'The road may be long, but if you keep going you will reach your destination; the task may be difficult, but if you keep trying you will succeed.'

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I will go to the Heavenly Palace first to see if I can achieve my wish."

Hearing Ye Yang say this, Tianjizi stood up immediately.

"Then I respectfully send you off, fellow Taoist. Since you started the path of cultivation, you have been extremely tenacious, practicing every day without interruption, and you are praised by all the cultivators in the world."

"I wish you all the best. I hope I can see you higher up in the sky in the future."

Ye Yang arrived at the heaven in the evening.

The Heavenly Palace is located thousands of miles above the imperial palace of the Dayun Dynasty.

It is a huge palace complex floating in the sky. From a distance, it really looks like the residence of immortals in myths and legends.

When Ye Yang arrived at the Heavenly Palace, the sun was setting and the sky was dyed with a layer of golden red light.

On both sides of the gate, dozens of immortal officials dressed in gorgeous costumes were lined up. Each of them had an extraordinary demeanor and a smile on their face, respectfully waiting for Ye Yang's arrival.

After seeing Ye Yang's figure at this moment, these dozens of people bent down together, performed a very standard immortal ceremony, and spoke in unison.

"Welcome Fellow Daoist Ye Yang to the Heavenly Palace!"

This scene made Ye Yang feel a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, smiled and clasped his fists in return.

"Thank you for your hard work, Immortal Officials. I am just an ordinary cultivator and I don't deserve such a great gift."

At this moment, brilliant rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky and turned into all kinds of auspicious signs, such as dragons soaring in the clouds, phoenixes dancing in the sky, lotus flowers blooming, and precious trees swaying.

A loud bell rang, resounding through the sky. It rang nine times before it stopped.

After a while, a dragon roared in the sky.

The nine-headed dragon roared and came at high speed, pulling a golden cloud car.

The cloud car is decorated with various precious gems and colored glaze, emitting a dazzling light. The nine-headed dragon is majestic and exudes a powerful aura, which is daunting.

In the middle of the carriage stood a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe, a jade crown on his head, and holding a jade whip in his hand.

At this moment, he walked out of the Nine Dragon Chariot, took a few steps forward, and bowed with a respectful look.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is the cloud car that the Heavenly Court has specially prepared to welcome you."

He got off the carriage, took a step forward, and personally led Ye Yang into the Nine Dragon Chariot.

"Friend Ye's arrival has truly brought glory to the Heavenly Court."

The man helped Ye Yang onto the Nine-Dragon Chariot and spoke as he walked, his tone full of sincerity and respect.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please follow me. Patriarch Yuanheng has been waiting for a long time."

After he finished speaking, the nine dragons pulling the chariot let out low hisses, causing the cloud chariot to slowly rise into the air.

The Nine-Dragon Chariot flew steadily in the air, passing through brilliant rays of light, and flew towards the main hall of the Heavenly Palace.

After a while, the Nine Dragon Chariot slowly landed on the square in front of the main hall of Heaven.

The main hall is majestic and magnificent, magnificent and golden, surrounded by all kinds of fairy flowers and herbs, emitting bursts of fragrance.

In front of the main hall, many immortal officials and immortals had already gathered. They lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for Ye Yang's arrival.

Lord Tianguan got off the car first and stretched out his hand to signal Ye Yang to follow.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please come this way." Lord Tianguan led Ye Yang into a main hall.

The interior of the main hall is even more magnificent, and a faint light emanates from the magnificent hall.

In the center of the main hall, there is a high platform with a green bamboo chair on it.

Sitting on the high platform was an old man with white hair and beard. He was wearing a plain white robe, had a kind face and eyes as bright as stars.

"Yes, it is the Taoist ancestor." (End of this chapter)
